X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

You know the funny bit though, my temps at same 3.38ghz clock were roughly 59-60c during prime runs and 75c during linpack before this, so it seems shimming the TRUE mount bracket with a couple of 1.2mm washers on each bolt and putting on new AS5 is making the world of difference. Cores are within 1c of each other as I sanded out the concave in the heat spreader while back but never really noticed it making as much difference as now, even the CPU temp is within 5-6c of actual reported core temps, its usually 15-20c even full load. Prime after nearly 3hrs now, cores are still 49-50c, and during a 10 min linpack 64bit run all cores never go past 65c, avg between 55-60.

I'd like to think that the TRUE mount not applying enough pressure and being loose was the problem, and not that I'm applying too much presure now and distorting the DTS values but I think If I was it wouldnt be stable as it seems to be. I guess I should be happy, always figured it was capable of more than I was seeing with a Delta 120x38 130cfm fan pulling and a Tuniq 120x25 90cfm pushing.

Working my way up, but ram is limiting me a lot. Linpack packs the heat;
